Pancakes made of bananas and almond butter?? Enough said. The protein here comes from the eggs, which also give these sweet, nutty pancakes a light, crepe-like texture.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 large, very ripe bananas
1/2 cup smooth almond butter
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Sliced banana and cocoa nibs, for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

    Step 2

    Whisk in the almond butter, then add eggs one at a time, making sure each is thoroughly incorporated into the mixture.

    Step 3

    Stir in the cinnamon.

    Step 4

    Heat a large cast-iron (or ceramic skillet) over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot enough that a drop of water splashed on it sizzles and bounces, add the coconut oil.

    Step 5

    Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving room for them to spread.

    Step 6

    Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is set, before flipping. Cook on the opposite side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

    Step 7

    Serve topped with sliced bananas and cocoa nibs.
